As The World Turns
\”Pre-corona, if we were sleepwalking into the Surveillance State, now we are panic-running into the arms of a super-surveillance state in which we are being asked to give up everything — our privacy and our dignity, our independence — and allow ourselves to be controlled and micromanaged. Even after the lockdowns are lifted, unless we move fast, we will be incarcerated forever.
How do we disable this engine? That is our task.” — Arundhati Roy
As the world gets stranger
and more broken,
each of us must learn
to steer by the stars in
our own souls.
~Martha Beck
The old-paradigm fear-based world is collapsing while a new-paradigm love-based world is rising. The collapse is getting much media attention while the rise is getting only a little on alternative outlets.
DENIAL — Most are avoiding the reality of the major forces at work that threatens us all (Coronavirus over-reaction, GMOs, fracking, chemtrails, banksters, endangered environment, WMD, and almost every major corporation and government riddled with corruptions).
Between this and their own personal challenges (health, financial, relationships, loneliness, etc.) they are dealing with their fears by getting deeper into unhealthy coping methods such as alcohol, antidepressants, gluttony, mindless entertainment, obsessive shopping, etc.).
OMG FEAR — Some are willing to look the present global and personal situation in the face and are freaked, — getting angry, despairing, depressed, etc. This greatly limits their ability to help birth the new coming age.

We are living in a time of world change, but it hasn’t sunk in yet. Most people, especially those feckless actors in the financial and governmental sectors, are assuring us that everything is getting back to “normal” very soon.
It won’t, and it shouldn’t. We have shirked our responsibilities to the web of life too long already. We have refused to look in the mirror. We are spiritual babies. The world can’t go on without the love and care of mature humans. It has taken all the punishment it can.
